You know, this whole Knack thing isn't funny and it never was. It's sad really.

Yeah, I agree but I guess other's find it funny for whatever reason, I've always seen it as dumb personally.

Meta Mario 90-95 Knack 83-88
Sales Mario 8 million Knack 2 3 million at best
Graphics well every PS4 exclusive will look miles and ways beyond a Switch game. Which is pretty logical considering the hardware advantage. Also those vegetation textures where awful and with those it shouldn't even be considered to win a graphical contest against Knack 2 which will shame Horizon.



Please excuse my (probally) poor grammar

It is totally ridiculous to compare these two games, in regards of critics and sales performance.
It would be like comparing Uncharted 4 with Halo Wars 2 or something... just does'nt make sense.
But for the sake of an argument.

Knack 1 was a launch title as I recall, so fairly many bought the game, as there was not that many other games to buy at that time, yet alone exclusives. And people bought into the idea of a new character, in a gamne that happened to be developed from the guy who created the PS4 in most part.

Knack 2 will certainly sell a lot, since it is a sequel to a game that sold 2+million. And it sounds like it will be a improved game experience over the first one. And now the PS4 has a greater install base, so potentially more games will be sold this time around.

Odyssey will probably be a game of the year contender (and knack 2 will not, right?!), if previous mario games are an indicator. Also from a critics perspective. The game will presumably sell millions before we hit 2018. It will perhaps sell 1:1 to the console install base, just like Breath of the wild did.

Knack 2 is no match for odyssey I predict. That is a no brainer.

Horizon vs. BotW II.

Only the first one was actually competitive, for a while at least.
This will be quite the laugher!

Well, Horizon won the graphics department, as will probably do Knack. Also Horizon is currently edging out a tie in sales - a feat Knack most likely will fail to do.

Dear people who took this thread seriously:

Blows my mind that there is any expectation for anyone to have recognized that reference.

I had never seen og thread before, but this has the fingerprints of a parody thread all over it.

With the sales number for KNACK 1 and MARIO 3DWORLD ; KNACK 1 is ahead of 3dW. And will comfortably win sales race. Good effort by Mario but install base matters.

SO the history will repeat again.

Now that's what I'm talking about.



A sequel to a mediocre at best platformer vs the king of platformers. Yeah, Mario Odyssey is going to smash Knack 2 on Metacritic.



Outrageous. Why even compare that piece of shovelware to the greatness that is Knack 2?



Graphics - You're putting a PS4 game up against an initially Wii U exclusive game? How is that a fair contest?

Sales - Not really. Horizon was at 3.4 million by the beginning of June. 
http://www.rollingstone.com/glixel/news/playstation-is-winning-but-what-next-w485683

Whereas the Switch version of Breath of the Wild was at 3.92 by the end of June.

Including the Wii U version, it was already over 5 million at that point. 

And right now, based off Amazon's Best Seller's List
https://www.amazon.com/best-sellers-video-games/zgbs/videogames/ref=zg_bsar_tab_t_bs#1
Zelda is just outside the top 20, Horizon isn't even on the list. 

It's really no contest in the sales department.
